Dupont Under(world)

A series of interactive installations transforms the Dupont Underground into a passageway to the Underworld. Guests can journey from life to death or from death to life (depending on their assigned path) and explore the wonder of the unknown. No two journeys are alike. See this new immersive theatrical experience that blends storytelling with visual art installations at Dupont Underground now through May 14. Tickets are $25 - $45; purchase them here.
